I was wondering when we would see an OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION.

"FOLX IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU LET YOUR JOY OF THIS GAME BE SHIT ON. OPEN YOUR MOUTHS WHILE WE SPREAD OUR CHEEKS, BIGOT. FUCK YOU."

Remeber she's only a "TERF" becuse she's a woman, otherwise they would be transphobic comments. A woman can never just be transphobic, she has to be given a special sexist title from the Era bigots.

I truly don't understand the recent controversy with JK Rowling, she wrote a book about a transvestite killer, what do transvestites have to do with transgenders? One has gender dysphoria and one dresses in women's clothing for fun.


...imagine SILENCE OF THE LAMBS coming to theaters in todays climate... the MELTDOWN would be nuclear :messenger_beaming:

2+2 truly equals 5 on that place doesn't it. 2020 is utter insanity.

At this point Era isn't even a political board disguised as a gaming forum. It's an actual hivemind that encompasses every aspect of life. A honeypot for the mentally unstable. Honestly feels like a trial for things to come but hopefully this shit doesn't bleed over into real life too much. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Lol I'm so happy JK made her billions before the lynch mob came for her character since she's already well off. I was interested in checking out what the outrage was about once I heard about the controversy months ago, and was shocked to learn that she had not incited violence or said anything hateful about trans people at all. Just that transgender women are not biological women and real women deserve their own spaces.
I had a trans person/close friend come out to me after working with them for 2 years at my on campus job in college, the most nerdy, nice guy I had ever met and the last person I'd say would be trans if you asked me earlier. So gender dysphoria is definitely a real thing and I will definitely call you whatever name people want out of respect, but my brain shuts off when you try to demand people say that trans people are somehow biologically what they are identifying as.
And I'd just like to add how badass J.K Rowling is. Before her factual stance on biological sex she has always been getting shit from other sides for being anti trump and a hardcore women's right activist. The women's rights activist parting being what got her into this current mess since trans women are not women by definition and she wouldn't run with that lie. But instead of backing down from the outrage she got for this as she's been getting bullied online for years, she has made sure to double down in her defense of biological women and not let the lynch mob bully her into submission.

Honestly this transgender topic has been bothering me for a long time just because of how illogical the whole thing is. And it often feeds into the archaic stereotypes that to be a man you have to have short hair, dress and act a certain way. And to be a women you need to have long hair, wear makeup etc. What makes the most sense to me and reality is to tell people that you can still be a man with long hair (i have it), wear makeup, be feminine. Just like a woman can break all of the "female" stereotypes and that its okay. That's what doctors should be telling kids with gender dysphoria and not rushing them into hormones and surgeries, and pretty much all that J.K Rowling has said on the matter. Nothing controversial, nothing bigoted.

40% gonna 40%, with or without JK Rowling.
 
Nothing important, but just wanted to shime in and precise that someone "stole" my identity to create a shitty archive of the "Pedoera" problem.


Someone just send it to me. I'm not behind this initiative and it's frankly poorly done (I never accused the staff of being pedophiles, that wasn't the problem). I'm posting that here since everyone know I'm the real Celine Sykes and I don't have twitter or anything.

If I have anything to say regarding the problem in question or Resetera, I'll always use Neogaf as the platform to do it, like I said before.

Looks to me like someone just added a description? I dunno.

I remember your original posts mostly because you posted them over several sites I browsed. (Or got linked to when you originally posted them).

The Harry Potter thread takes the forum to the next level. If Hitler and Mao had a baby, it would either be a mod there or banned because its views are not extreme enough. The whole forum there feels like a huge experiment to see how a bunch of mentally disadvantaged people behave in groups and how they react when you add some normal people and opinions every now and then.

Mermaids is an extremely controversial charity in the UK. Along with the Tavistock NHS clinic they have been accused of pushing teenagers towards medical and surgical solutions for their trans-related identify problems. Drugs known as 'puberty blockers' are prescribed to halt the onset of adult characteristics - but these can cause irreversible effects. A number of people have come forward to say that they regret taking the advice and medical procedures from these organisations, are no longer trans and feel like they were pushed into it after expressing fairly typical teenage feelings of angst and sexual confusion. They have been criticised by the NSPCC (national choldren's charity), the BBC and The Guardian.

The other side of the coin is that 'puberty blockers' do make transitioning much easier and are definitely beneficial in those circumstances.

I think the real issue is that there is a lot of evangelical pushing of teenage kids through the process and the checks and balances that should be in place to say "are we sure about this for this patient?" are being eroded by accusations of transphobia or fear of accusations. So basically the person who's job it is at the Tavistock to push back was undermined and no real curbs were taking place.

Clean how? DM me a link I can PS if needed.

Clean in that the preview was garbled in Google image and I'm a dummy who didn't know you could directly link to FB posts.



Edit: That's the edited comic, btw. The original backfired as it said "don't pretend you have a reason for denying transkids, you just want to deny transkids exist" which....yeah, no shit.

This is a fairly good cross-section of the debate (not sure why it won't embed)

it's a really difficult issue because transitioning early is beneficial for young people who truly suffer from dysmorphia. But you're dealing with children and teenagers (and in some cases parents with their own agenda) who don't have enough perspective or maturity to really make that judgement and in some cases come to profoundly regret the choices they made in later life.

Trans kids are real. But the problem is that not enough consideration is given to the fact that early transition of someone who isn't actually dysmorphic is as damaging as refusing treatment to someone that is. It's unbalanced and that's because organisations like Mermaids are not neutral.

I don't know a clearer sign of someone being in immediate need of psychological help than attempting suicide because what someone said on twitter.

But yeah, Rowling is the problem. Sure. Okay.

We laugh but they fucking should ban the game on there, no OT, no excuses. If they mean what they say about JK Rowling then they how can they do otherwise?

Nevermind banning the game. If they really have the balls do like they do bigoted youtubers. Don't give her a platform on your site
AWAY YOU BIGOT DIE IN A FIRE

What in the flying-fuck with those bans?

Reasonable posts with some people getting perm'd?

Flat out shameful bullying.

Also who's approving these bans? Aren't two mods meant to agree and an admin drop in for anything over a short duration?

Who is that admin, which admin is such a hateful cunt? Ain't many to choose from.

I've activated the Hecht signal, he'll sort this.

Something has to be going on behind the scenes because it honestly looks like absolute sabotage by an admin.

It's just beyond belief.

Enzom21, did you reach the upper echelon of supreme trolling?

What i did last night was unfollow anyone that decided to bring politics into discussing Harry Potter, ended up being quite a few

I'm just so done with Politics in gaming, at this point I'm blocking it all out

If only all this nonsense would lead to the industry turning their back on REEE, something good would have come from all this bullshit. But still, an astounding number of developers hang out there to score woke points until the day they eventually get cancelled because they're the "problematic of the week" dev.

look at this hypocrite, they continue to contribute to a site that platforms a TERF. how does it feel to contribute so much to - what is according to your own words - a hate platform?


fZbhedu.jpg


also i love how the new "civil rights warriors" just say they are too lazy to spend their time fighting. "It's not on minorities" to fight back? LOL OK. imagine MLK Jr. saying "It's not on us to fight back". "Rosa Parks, don't get on that bus, you need to wait for a white savior, maybe an interview on CBS."

Civil Rights would have never happened with these lazy fools that want other people to fix their fucked up lives for them.

I've wondered this as well. Are transvestites (or crossdressers or drag queens or whatever term they use today) inherently part of the LQBTQRS spectrum or only if they internally id as gay? Is Ru Paul a he or a she due to being a drag queen or is he/she actually trans as well?

Is the Rocky Horror Picture Show cancelled or not? I MUST KNOW!!!
